40x60x14 Shop

Both TPLink and the Ubiquity I recommended have good local web interfaces to set them up.
The Ubiquity is an outdoor access point, so it goes outside under the eaves and you run a cable inside.

I use the Engenius products to get wireless to my shop with is 325 feet from the house. Works great:

Did you need anything else? One in the house and one in the shop? Do you need a WiFi router in the shop with it? excuse my ignorance

I contacted my internet provider, and this is what they recommended. Said they'd install it for $75 so I'm probably going to go with it.

The Jeep is trying to get accustomed to its new surroundings!

Microtik makes good stuff and that seems like a bargain on installation. 60ghz is sensitive to rain, but a 300ft link should not have any trouble.

So the whole reason I wanted to add WiFi to the shop is so I could control the lights via Alexa in the house. Bought two WiFi switches, one for the basement outside light and one shop outside light. The basement switch doesn’t have a neutral wire so the switch I bought won’t work. I’m super bummed about that.

 

[JHurt]

Can anyone suggest a smart on/off switch that doesn’t require a neutral wire or an additional hub?

Sorry - no idea on those, but this is why I ALWAYS run the power to the switch, so I can control it later on (neutral is present). (Except for oddball situations where it probably won't mater anyways...)

How's the floor heat doing since the fix?

It seems to be working well. I have it set on 68 and when I'm out there I rarely hear it kick on. It has warmed up a considerable amount in the past couple of weeks, so it's really hard to get a good gauge on it.
